Saw Palmetto and testosterone in women.

Question

Asked for Female, 36 Years

I am a female. I've been using a redensyl hair serum that has saw palmetto in it. Someone warned me that it could impact DHT in women and can increase testosterone level. Is there any truth to it if it is applied topically? I am close to finishing the 60ml bottle and I haven't observed any side-effects. Saw Palmetto is one if the last ingredients in the list. I have one more bottle of it remaining. Is it a good idea to continue using it?
